Comics, animation, movies, fantasy, mythology. I also play Lord of the Rings Online. You can find me as Fredeghar Wayfarer on the Riddermark server.
First Lord of the Rings reading experience:
I first read Lord of the Rings in high school and fell in love with it. However, the ending had been spoiled for me since I had seen the Rankin/Bass Return of the King as a child.
Favorite Tolkien character:
Gollum. I love his moral ambiguity, tortured history, bizarre appearance, and unusual speech patterns.
